IFAB Meeting
- Thread starter lincs22
- Start date
Cost the FA a fortune that idea, ref bottles a £10 yellow card for the soft option of 10 minutes on the naughty step!!! That will really improve the Club marks!!!
H ow many watches are we going to need! Sin bins could be the way forward in mini soccer and thus negating the age old argument about when to issue cautions but at 11aside footie I am not sure about it.At senior youth level U13sto U18s there will be lots of time keepers maling sure little innocent Johnnny does back on 10 minutes and not a second more! Cue shouts from thesidelines after 7 mins to tell you to allow him on.

Both appear to be well meaning but neither will work in the real world
Captains will take it as permission to harass us at every opportunity.
Sin bins for reasons already stated. Anymore than 1 in the bin will make managing it almost impossible.

wouldnt mind that if the captain was fully conversant with the laws.....

Perhaps, that should be the criteria for being Captain. They have passed a test on the LOTG.
The 131st Annual General Meeting (AGM) of The IFAB took place today at Wembley Stadium and was chaired by Greg Clarke, Chairman of The Football Association.
The British representatives as well as FIFA’s delegation unanimously approved a future IFAB strategy, using the Laws of the Game to develop the game by focusing on fairness and integrity, increasing universality and inclusion, and embracing technology. A major initial feature of the strategy will be the behaviour of players and, in particular, the role of the captain and how her/his responsibilities could be enhanced to help improve on-field behaviour and create better communication between players and referees. Methods to tackle time-wasting will also be considered as it is an area about which many fans complain.
The members strongly supported this initiative as the next step in delivering “what football wants” following the extensive revision of the Laws of the Game. Other major areas which The IFAB will focus on include handball and a potentially fairer system for kicks from the penalty mark.
Central to the IFAB strategy is also a robust evaluation process for potential future Law changes and initiatives.
As part of the ‘what football wants’ approach, the AGM extended the “Modifications” section of the Laws allowing national football associations more freedom to modify the organisational Laws for the lower levels of football e.g. number of substitutions and duration of play, to help them develop their domestic football by encouraging more people to take part. National football associations will decide at which levels the modifications are applied in their domestic football. This does not include competitions involving the first team of clubs in the top division or senior ‘A’ international teams.
Additionally, as part of “Modifications”, the proposals to allow temporary dismissals (sin bins) for yellow card offences were approved for youth, grassroots and disability football, as it is the case for return substitutions.
The AGM also approved the use of electronic communication systems in the technical area for player welfare and safety, acknowledging the importance of technology in assessing potential injuries with the help of medical data and video material.
On the topic of video assistant referees (VARs), the AGM was updated on the first phase of experiments, including reports from the workshops and more than 20 test matches organised to test the VAR protocol which was approved one year ago. The members also received detailed information on the key learning areas which will be incorporated into the ‘live’ experiments starting in almost 20 competitions from around the world in 2017.
The ‘success’ of the change from a red to yellow card for a penalty awarded for the denial of a goal-scoring opportunity if there was an attempt to play the ball, led the members to extend the principle by removing a yellow card for a penalty kick awarded for a ‘stopping a promising attack’ if the offence was an attempt to play the ball.
The AGM also approved the development of the first minimum safety standard for electronic performance and tracking systems (EPTS) which will regulate the safety of devices worn by players on the field of play.
The IFAB members (the football associations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as FIFA, representing the other 207 national associations) take turns to host the AGM in rotation. Any decision requires a majority of six out of eight votes at the AGM.
The decisions taken at last year’s IFAB AGM are available here.
The modifications to the Laws of the Game made at today’s AGM will come into effect on 1 June 2017, except for competitions which have started before that date.
The 132nd Annual General Meeting will be hosted by FIFA in February or March 2018

Dear god.....I can see referee's leaving in droves when the reality of having to manage sin bins hits home........
IFAB seriously has it's head up its arse if they believe that this will in any way benefit the game......will just lead to more conflict, more pressure, more abuse, and less referees.

Hopefully sin bins will be optional, like rolling subs, and none of my leagues adopt them
Wow.....
I like rolling subs at grassroots and I'm cautiously liking how the DOGSO changes have gone so far. But sometimes you need to quit while you're ahead! These are major changes and with those two things and VAR's at the top level, the need to just back off and see how they work in the long run before making more wild changes should be paramount.

Oh wow, I missed/glossed over that in my head. That's an awful idea! Why do that? A yellow card isn't as game-changing an event as a red and (this applies to the sin bin idea too) is generally a useful and well-balanced tool at the moment.Messing with that based on where you happen to be on the pitch is not smart.
So glad I am retired. Will have a lot of patience for those at 7, 6 and 5 managing these issues on their own.
hopefully both stupid ideas will end up up in the fifa bin of stupid ideas beside silver and golden goals,. and take the even more stupid idea of referees needing a can of shaving foam to control a free kick with them

more changes that will confuse the hell out of clubs, players and managers, without mentioning us. Add to that an enhanced role for captains!
Sim bins won't work at grassroots, unless the FA are going to send independent timekeepers to games. I like the idea of sending players off temporarily to cool off but can't see it working in the real world.
I would rather have seen 5 subs being allowed rather than rolling. I know some grassroots leagues allow this anyway, but it would be good to see this further up. Give the seniors a bit more to think about!!
